Testimonials

  • Bill

    I was in a slump. My relationship with my gallery ran its course, it has since closed, and I needed to get back in the game. I hired Ellen Nettles and we put together a marketing plan from the ground up...after every session I was armed with concrete, practical and goal-oriented action items...we had several small victories before my solo exhibition at a gallery on 57th Street in NYC...and sales!!!

  • Electra

    After searching for professional guidance, I finally found Ellen. After the first consultation with her, I already felt a sense of heightened awareness with my artwork and felt more knowledgeable about the art world in general. Within 2 months, I have made the MOST professional progress (quite a bit, I might add) with my business than I have in the past 10 years! ​

  • Jeff

    I just wanted to thank you for what I have learned in only two meetings with you. You have given me the desire and confidence to promote my sculpture, something I have not had in 40 years. You have also equipped me with the tools and direction to begin marketing my work instead of waiting to be discovered...I never could have done this TV interview without your tips.
